I hate to be positive but I actually love this job

I just thought I’d add a bit of unusual positivity to the medosphere. I’m an ACCS EM ST2 and just had my ICU induction, and i can’t help but feel so privileged to be able to do this kind of work. I love EM and I’m interested in the possibility of dual training in ICM, and even if I don’t I’m still looking forward to learning a new skill set for 6 months. This is literally what I’ve been dreaming of since I was 10 years old and I’m really living it.

I know the system has so many issues, pay should be better, training is convoluted and there’s a lack of jobs, but when you finally make it to your speciality it really does change everything.

There’s just so much negativity out there (understandably so) that it just seem very discouraging for medical students/ FY doctors etc but trust me it’s not all bad, and does get better when you find your passion.

And at the core of it, there really is no career as amazing as being a doctor.
